Chapter 70 - Chapter 70: The Sand Village hides like a turtle

"How is that possible? Why can this brat use Lord Rasa's ability?"

"Damn it, is it a genjutsu? Since when...?"

"Idiot! Did all of us fall for a genjutsu? This is clearly Magnet Style!"

"What the hell is going on? Could the brat in front be Lord Rasa in disguise?"

"No way! Someone tell me what the hell is going on!"

Seeing Mirai Uchiha use Magnet Style, the Sand Village ninjas were completely confused.

In the entire ninja world, Magnet Style was a Kekkei Genkai that only ninjas from their Sand Village possessed.

But why could this Konoha ninja in front of them use the power of Magnet Style?

Many Sand ninjas even couldn't help but start to suspect if this wasn't a secret military exercise organized by the village itself.

Facing these Sand ninjas, who no longer understood anything, Mirai Uchiha clapped his hands together: "Magnet Style: Gold Dust Imperial Funeral!"

Countless gold dust particles instantly engulfed the two hundred ninjas.

The next moment, after a dull sound, everything returned to silence.

Mirai Uchiha listened to the continuous notifications in his mind, and his sense of satisfaction kept growing.

Aside from some unimportant ninjutsu rewards, Mirai Uchiha had obtained a total of 147 attribute points.

[Name: Mirai Uchiha]

[Constitution: 571]

[Mental Strength: 562]

[Chakra: 574]

[Kekkei Genkai: Mangekyō Sharingan! Magnet Style: Gold Dust!]

[Ninjutsu: ...]

[Other: ...Secret Technique: Puppet Jutsu!]

Seeing the new increase in his attribute points, Mirai Uchiha rubbed his nose.

This feeling of rapid progress was truly gratifying.

Without spending a moment to mourn the dead Sand ninjas, his next objective was to eliminate another Sand Village outpost.

————

Land of Wind.

Border.

In the main camp of the Sand Village, a large number of ninjas were gathered. The atmosphere was somewhat grim.

In the central wooden cabin, the faces of all the high-ranking officials of the Sand Village were extremely gloomy.

Especially Chiyo's.

She pressed her lips together tightly, and her gaze, as sharp as a knife, swept over the ninjas present one by one.

In the last few days, their outposts in the Land of Rain had been attacked on multiple occasions. In less than a week, they had already suffered nearly a thousand casualties.

And to think that the total number of their army was just over thirty thousand.

Such a casualty rate was absolutely unsustainable.

Thump!

Chiyo slammed her palm on the table and looked furiously at the ninjas in the room.

"What the hell is going on? Why have we lost so many ninjas in such a short time?"

Hearing Chiyo's question, everyone lowered their heads in silence.

The atmosphere grew heavier and heavier. Ebizō had no choice but to step forward and explain: "Sister, judging by the traces on some of the corpses, one of the attackers on our outposts was undoubtedly Minato Namikaze."

"The wounds caused by his Rasengan are very easy to recognize."

Hearing that, Chiyo said coldly: "Continue."

"Apart from the posts attacked by Minato Namikaze, the other attacked posts presented a completely opposite scene..."

Ebizō's lips trembled a bit. "In those posts, not a single whole body was left."

He had gone to see one of the attacked outposts. The ground was covered in fragments of flesh and blood. Even for him, who had experienced countless cruel missions and several wars, the scene sent a chill down his spine.

True hell couldn't be worse.

After hearing Ebizō's explanation, Chiyo was clearly dissatisfied.

She frowned and said with displeasure: "Is that all?"

Ebizō opened his mouth, but in the end, said nothing.

Just as Chiyo was about to say something, a kunoichi in the corner raised her arm.

"Pakura, do you have something to say?"

Pakura cleared her throat, glanced at Rasa, and then spoke slowly: "According to my investigation, at the site of many of the attacked outposts, large amounts of gold dust were left behind, and the way those ninjas died is very similar to a Magnet Style attack..."

"Pakura, what are you trying to say?"

Rasa became agitated.

In the entire ninja world, only he, Rasa, could use Magnet Style: Gold Dust. Wasn't she trying to blame him?

"Silence." Chiyo stopped Rasa, who was trying to explain, and looking at Pakura, asked: "Do you suspect that Rasa attacked our posts?"

Pakura quickly lowered her head: "I am only presenting the results of my investigation."

"This must be an enemy plot to sow discord among us. I trust that Rasa would not betray the village."

With that said, Chiyo, without giving Pakura a chance to continue speaking, waved her hand: "We're done for today. From now on, with the exception of the ninjas who must go out to investigate, the rest are not allowed to leave the camp."

"Yes, ma'am!"

After everyone left, Chiyo sat down in her chair, drained of strength.

The war was not going well. In less than a year, the village had already suffered more than ten thousand casualties.

The voices in the village were also becoming increasingly discontent.

Her plan for revenge against Konoha was already destined to fail.

If that was the case, was there any point in continuing this war?

————

Konoha Village.

Minato Namikaze and Mirai Uchiha met at the entrance of the camp.

Both of them looked dusty, and their clothes were stained with blood.

At that moment, the two looked at each other.

Minato Namikaze was the first to speak, smiling: "Mirai, how was today's harvest?"

Mirai Uchiha shook his head: "Not very good. The Sand Village ninjas have already started to hide like turtles."

"Hahahaha..." Minato Namikaze laughed heartily and gave Mirai Uchiha a firm pat on the shoulder. "Mirai, thanks to you."

Since Mirai Uchiha arrived at the front to provide support, the situation had turned around in just a few days.

Now, the Sand Village had completely withdrawn to the border of the Land of Wind, abandoning all their posts in the Land of Rain.

If this continued, Minato Namikaze even thought that the war wouldn't take long to end.

Mirai Uchiha put his index finger to the side of his nose and said calmly: "Don't celebrate too soon, be careful of a counterattack from the Sand Village."

Actually, this situation was completely within his expectations.

Not to mention himself, just by finding the Sand's outposts, he didn't even need to show himself; from the air, a single Gold Dust Imperial Funeral could wipe out all the ninjas on the ground.

And as for Minato Namikaze...

He had mastered the Flying Thunder God Jutsu and possessed Extreme Reaction Nerves.

You could say he came and went as he pleased.

Being constantly harassed by them, and with the Sand Village having no means to counter them, it was natural that, over time, they would do the same as the Cloud Village did back then: concentrate all their ninjas to protect themselves from their surprise attacks.

As for what would come next, Mirai Uchiha could imagine that the only means of counterattack left for the Sand was, just like the Cloud, to launch an all-out offensive against Konoha.

And then, he could kill to his heart's content.
